So what time do people think the actual fight itself will start GMT?
I'm setting my alarm for 0400hrs...
Anywhere between 4-5 I reckon. Imagine splashing out mega bucks on tickets, and it's a first round stoppage....I'm setting my alarm for 0400hrs...
EDIT: Just checked ESB, and ring walks confirmed to be NO EARLIER than 5am GMT. I reckon for this fight it'll be closer to 6am though!

I wouldn't have thought that it'll start earlier than the published time.
PPV, advertising sales, sponsors agreements etc. Ultimatel, TV rights control the start time of just about all sporting events these days.
I've been to fights where the undercard goes short, even with some bouts scratched and the main bout always seems to be at the allotted time.
Just my thoughts, so probably quite wrong!

I really want Paqman to win. I don't think this is the 'fight of the century', money wise, yeah, but surely there have been bigger and badder fights before.
Totally agree. In the past there was a lot more talent. Hagler and Sugar Ray would have whipped these two guys. Now it is a smaller pond. So it looks more impressive.
suppose I will have to get another drink

May have been covered already, but has anyone got a suggestion for a live feed.
No Sky here at Nobby Towers!
I appreciate that these feeds pop up and disappear very rapidly, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
If I get a good free stream before the fight I will post it up. No Sky here at Nobby Towers!

Not too worried it's stealing anyone's money when the fighters are getting $100m + and seats are going for $100k.
It's a feeding frenzy, us cheapo bottom feeders deserve the cast offs
As much as I'm looking forward to the fight I can't help but think they've actively avoided each other for a decade and are only doing the right now while they can still command the big payday. It would have been far, far bigger even two or three years ago. I wouldn't be surprised to see the winner retire, maybe even both of them.
